Reader Reviews
First I will state that I'm not much for the "east coast bigfoot" but I'm fractionally more open minded about the Ohio area. So with that, here ya go... This is Chris Murphy's third bigfoot book, this time centering on sightings and stories from Ohio. He and the two 'co-writers' run through each Ohio county alphabetically and then chronologically per county on stories/encounters with the grassman/wild man creatures. But first, he gives us a brief rehashing of the "origins of sasquatch", Jerry Crew, and Roger Patterson. Then proceeds into the sighting section. These pieces of info is, for the most part, very brief and reminscent of Philip Rife's book (which was very weak and internet heavy). He has two brief chapters on bigfoot and bears in Ohio; followed by strange deer killings possibly linked to the Ohio bigfoot creatures. He then delves into animalistic looking humans such as circus sideshows, why I'm not really sure. All in all, this is a very low grade book, coming in at around 130 pages. If you take out the intro chapters and the ending chapters that deal with nothing in Ohio, then the book is maybe seventy pages of Ohio-based sightings/encounters. Its bonus is the book is printed on glossy pages so should be more durable. Personal opinion here... Murphy has now put out three bigfoot books and this coming from a guy (along side Cliff Crook) that had previously tried to 'debunk' the Patterson film with the infamous "bell shaped zipper" blow-up ten years ago. Now he's purportedly a staunch supporter of the creatures. Is he writing these books because he argues for bigfoot existance or for the low term money returns?
